ABSTRACT

This paper examined the changes in writing methods according to media. To this end, an incident that occurred in the 1930s was discussed, and then the changes that this event underwent after contact with the contemporary media and the meaning of these changes were examined. There was a difference in the way this event was handled and in the writing styles employed by the representative forms of media at the time, newspapers and phonographic records. The newspaper media basically maintained an objective stance, yet the way in which the event was handled differed depending on the newspaper and the reporter. The Dong-A Ilbo interpreted Kim Bong-ja's suicide on a political level, while the Maeil Sinbo used a somewhat sentimental vocabulary, judging No Byeong-un's suicide to be an example of wrong behavior. Yet when this event became the subject of popular art, only the genuine love story was highlighted, with emotional writing styles making up the mainstream. In particular, these accounts used a blunt vocabulary that directly expressed emotions, transforming Kim Bong-ja and No Byeong-un's suicide into "a tragic yet romantic myth of love." In this way, Kim Bong-ja was praised in popular art as an "angel" or "incarnation of true love" that defended love through her death.
